70TB！远超《赛博朋克2077》,《黑色神话:悟空》的预载量带宽峰值打破Steam历史记录
《赛博朋克2077》带宽峰值为每秒51TB



There are clearly a lot of people excited about Black Myth: Wukong, as it has managed to beat Cyberpunk 2077's peak download bandwidth usage on Steam ahead of its release tomorrow.
While bandwidth usage might not be the stat that we often look at on Steam, with many often focusing more on concurrent player counts to judge a game's popularity, before and during a game's launch the site's bandwidth is a solid indicator of how many people are rushing to download things. We saw this back in 2020 with the launch of Cyberpunk 2077 – as flagged in this Reddit post at the time, the site's download bandwidth spiked to 51TB per second on December 12, the Saturday following the game's launch.

显然，很多人对《黑色神话:悟空》感到兴奋，因为该游戏在Steam上的预载瞬时带宽占用率在明日（20日）正式发行前就已经超过《赛博朋克2077》最大峰值。
虽然玩家不常观看Steam带宽负载情况，因为通常来说大多人更关心的是玩家数量，以此来判断某款游戏受欢迎程度，但在游戏发布之前和期间，网站带宽占用是一个可靠的指标，可表明有多少人急于下载游戏。我们在2020年的《赛博朋克2077》发布时就发现了这一点，正如当时Reddit帖子中所展示的那样，该网站下载带宽占用在（2020年）12月12日(也就是游戏发布后的周六)飙升至每秒51TB。

Well, we're now seeing a similar spike with Black Myth: Wukong and this one is even bigger than Cyberpunk 2077's. Preloads for Game Science's new action RPG went live yesterday, and Steam's download bandwidth usage promptly spiked to 70TB per second, which is enormous. The majority of this usage was from Asia, which alone accounted for 59.3TB per second at the peak, followed by North America at 7.8TB, and Europe closely behind at 7.6TB.

好吧，我们现在在《黑色神话:悟空》中看到了类似情况，这款游戏容量甚至比《赛博朋克2077》还要大。游戏科学最新动作RPG游戏昨天放开了预载，Steam的下载带宽占用率迅速飙升至每秒70TB，这是一个巨大的数字。下载流量主要来自亚洲区，仅在峰值时就达到了每秒59.3TB，其次是北美区每秒7.8TB，以及紧随其后每秒7.6TB的欧洲区。

It's worth noting that this bandwidth usage is across Steam as a whole, so there's bound to be some usage in there that isn't from Black Myth: Wukong. Also, when comparing it directly to Cyberpunk 2077, it's worth noting that the upcoming action RPG has a much larger storage space requirement, demanding at least 130GB rather than 70GB, so it'll be more demanding on that bandwidth in the first place. However, it's still indicative that Game Science could have a huge hit on its hands when the action RPG launches on PC and PS5 tomorrow, especially looking at the overall positive scores like in our own Black Myth: Wukong review.

值得注意的是，这是Steam整体带宽使用情况，所以肯定会有一些下载流量不是来自《黑色神话:悟空》。此外，当与《赛博朋克2077》游戏容量直接进行比较时，值得注意的是，该款动作RPG对存储空间的要求要大得多，至少需要130GB而不是70GB，所以首先它对带宽的要求更高。然而，当这款游戏明天在PC和PS5上发布时，仍然预示着游戏科学将会获得巨大的成功，尤其在我们网站《黑色神话:悟空》专题下的用户评分以及评价结果来看。
